The lasers, created by a Russian student group, were projected on to the US Embassy in Moscow on the US President's 53rd birthday

The disgraceful video above shows how racist Russian students projected a laser image of Barack Obama eating a banana on to the US Embassy in Moscow.

On 4th August, the so-called show began with a message to the US President pretending to wish him a happy 53rd birthday.

A likeness of Obama with a party hat on his head then appeared, although the mouth area was made to look like that of a monkey - and a banana repeatedly moved into the mouth.

The series of projections are then repeated several times.

A group calling itself The Moscow Student Initiative claimed responsibility for the stunt on its VK social media page, while the video was uploaded to YouTube.

"Laser show at the US Embassy in Moscow as a gift to Barack Obama," it stated.

Sadly, of 150 YouTube video comments at the time of writing, the vast majority were lacking in sympathy for the President while many even praised the staged 'show'.

Last year Russian MP and three-times Olympic figure skating gold medal winner Irina Rodnina was criticised for tweeting a picture of Obama sitting alongside wife Michelle with a banana superimposed in the foreground.
